His voice

I hear the voice of my God.  It's not an audible voice, but one that whispers in my ear.

I'm amazed at how He speaks to me through a friend who has NO idea she's imparting a word from Him.  Today as I was trying not to be jealous of my friend and her upcoming move to a more free and beautiful place, He clearly spoke to me that I will NOT receive MY dream until I give some love to what I already have.  Side note: I am SERIOUSLY very happy for her and her family, seriously. :)

That hit me like a ton of bricks.  Oddly, I know exactly what He means.

He wants us to spiffy up what we already have, be thankful for what we've been given and find contentment where we are.  How long that will take, I have no idea.  I have been too busy moaning and whining about my country home to see how blessed I am just where I'm at.

I have some home improvement projects that I've been wanting to get to since we moved in here 7½ years ago.  At one time, I had big plans for this "forever" home of mine.  My excuse is always that I can't afford to do this or that.  There's a LOT of things I have done and can do that are inexpensive and I'm going to make a list of those things and start putting my plan into action.

Contentment where I'm at.  Hmmm, I wonder what that will feel like?  I'm up for the challenge.
